define "object files." Most people mean the output of an assembler (or compiler), but I'm not sure that's what you mean.
Many thanks! That is exactly what I mean!
Such files generally have names ending in ".o"
I suggest you write a little script like this:
#!/bin/bash echo $1 nm $1
Shall we call it "listem" and store it in ~/bin/
Don't forget "chmod +x ~/bin/listem"
Then: find <where you expect them> -type f -name *.o \ -exec ~/bin/listem {} ; \ >/tmp/listed
If you mean "shared object" then the suffix is .so, and there might be some .a files of interest.
I assume for .so, I would have to use nm -D? Would there be any place else (other than .o, .so and .a files) that I could find them on the system?
Many thanks again! Best wishes!
